Fox legal pro hit with 2nd sexual claim

The top legal analyst at Fox News was slapped with a second sexual assault allegation Wednesday, this time from a waiter who met him in the early 2000s.

James Kruzelnick made the allegation in a sworn declaration filed in a separate sexual abuse case against Judge Andrew Napolitano.

“I too was sexually assaulted by Napolitano. In the near future, I intend to file a lawsuit against Napolitano based on what he did to me,” Kruzelnick said in the Manhattan Federal Court filing.

Kruzelnick claims he first met the high-profile Fox News personality while working at the Spring House restaurant in Newton, N.J. They kept in touch through 2017, according to Kruzelnick.

His statement came in connection with a legal dispute over Napolitano’s residency. A South Carolina man, Charles Corbishley, sued earlier this month, alleging Napolitano sexually abused him while presiding over his arson case in the 1980s.

Napolitano argues the Corbishley case should be transferred from Manhattan to New Jersey.

The judge stepped down from the bench in 1995 and now works as senior judicial analyst at Fox News.

Corbishley’s abusive encounter with Napolitano at a New Jersey residence was arranged by a crooked lawyer representing him in his arson case, according to the lawsuit. After the incident, Napolitano went unusually easy on Corbishley, giving him a sentence of no jail time, the suit charges.

Napolitano called Corbishley’s accusations “pure fiction.”

His lawyer, Thomas Clare, on Wednesday said the judge “denies unequivocally that he sexually assaulted Mr. Kruzelnick. The gratuitous inclusion of this copycat nonsense in a routine procedural filing is nothing more than a sad attempt to prop up Mr. Corbishley’s doomed lawsuit and the latest attempt by Mr. Corbishley and his lawyers to smear Judge Napolitano.”

Fox News did not immediately comment on the new allegation.
